You gotta put things into context. It's a song for a cartoon! You can't expect it to have the usual emotional depth and meaning that you normally find in Axl's lyrics. The song is appropriate for the main audience it was intended for. And anytime an artist appears on a kids show or a cartoon nowadays it is a good marketing move. If you wanna stay relevant in the music industry today, you gotta either appear in a kid's show or show up on James Corden's show doing carpool karaoke!

Don't be ridiculous. Axl is a lyrical genius, clearly you have no concept of the depth of his writing

It's actually a really deep song. If you dig into the chorus, you can see how he's talking about the pain of Bumblefoot leaving the band. It's almost like a diss track but also like I still love you. It's the deepest thing Axl has ever done. I have a friend who went to brazil once, and he said he heard Rock The Rock is the sequel to November Rain's epilogue.

The context is that GNR hasn't put out a new song in 49 years and this is what we get. Out of context, it's fun that he did this song. In context, it's shit.
